A picturesque island. A shocking murder. A secret that could destroy everything.

It’s 1980, a time of peace and tranquility on a legendary island off the coast of New England. Inhabiting the island is a vibrant cast of locals that includes scallopers, tradespeople, and a mysterious recluse—the wealthiest man in Massachusetts. But that peace is shattered with the murder of a prominent lawyer, a pillar of the community.

For Peter Christie, a journalist seeking a fresh start, the case is more than just a headline—it’s a chance at redemption. As he delves into the island’s secrets, he finds himself drawn to Haddie Danville, a determined conservation ranger. But Haddie, reeling from her grandfather’s sudden death, begins to doubt both Peter and his true intentions.

Determined to win Haddie back, Peter sets out to solve the murder, joining forces with a local detective, navigating a web of confounding islanders, and pressing closer and closer to the heart of the tightly coiled secret . . . a secret that threatens to tear apart the idyllic island.

James Sulzer was an Intensive English major at Yale, worked in television for a number of years, then moved with his family year-round to the island of Nantucket, Massachusetts. In his early years on the island, he labored as a commercial scalloper and sang professionally in a barbershop quartet, then taught English for three decades. He has published three novels for adults and three middle-grade fantasy novels for children ages nine and up. All That Smolders is his first murder mystery and is written in honor of his mother, who was a big fan of Agatha Christie.
